To all 'whom it may'concemi Be it known that I, S'rANwooD FLIGHT- NER, acitizen of the United States,and resih dent of Englewoo d,'county of Bergen, State of New Jersey, have invented certain new` and useful Improvements in Adjustable Sup-` ing is a specification.. y i y The present invention relates to franjesfor vapor electriclamps such as are represented bythe well-known mercury vapor lamps no w The special object of the inventionis to rovide means whereby the startingnof such am s may be readily accom' lished either sing y or in groups by means fo tilting apparatus in which connection is` first made be-V tween the negative and positive electrodes through a stream. or column of mercury, and afterwards such connection is broken., by ay proper manipulation of `the apparatus, so that the current which originally flowed through the vaporcolumn or stream shall t e vapor path between the main positive and the main negative elec-` trodes.

This reecting material can,- o course, be renewed at any time by simplywithdrawing the reector already in the apparatus and replacing it by a new one.

The lamp may be started by vfirst tilting .the supporting frame 8 into the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2 and afterwards restoring the frame to the full linerposi-tion whereby the mercury in the two ends of the lamp will be st brought into contact and afterwards se ,iirated for starting purposes. It will be understood that the 'frame 8 may support a plurality of lamps as well as the slngle amp illustrated:

I claim as my invention i The combination with a tilting frame and a vapor electric lamp sup orted thereby, of a guide located behind the lamp and extending along lpractically the entire luminous body thereof,'the said guide being of curved form and being adapted to receive reflecting material.
